서울시 유통 건강기능식품 중 츄어블제품 66건과 인삼 홍삼제품 60건을 수거하여 분석하였다. 시료 전체의 1일 섭취량당 당함량 평균은 1.95 g이었고 범위는 N.D. ~ 12.61 g 이었다. 제품 유형별로는 츄어블 제품의 평균은 1.26 g 이었고 범위는 N.D. ~ 10.39 g이었다. 인삼홍삼제품의 평균은 2.70 g이었고 범위는 N.D. ~ 12.61 g이었다. 츄어블제품중 1 일 섭취량당 당함량은 어린이용 제품이 평균 2.10 g으로 가장 높았고 영양소제품은 평균 1.43 g, 기능성원료 제품은 평균 0.35 g이였다. 어린이용 제품은 1일 섭취량당 당함량이 1.03 g ~ 5.33 g, 영양소 제품은 N.D. ~ 10.39 g, 기능성원 료 제품은 N.D. ~ 2.61 g의 범위를 보였다. 인삼홍삼제품중 1일 섭취량 당 당함량은 액상 제품이 평균 4.25 g으로 가장 높았고 농축액 제품은 평균 1.51 g, 분말제품은 평균 1.49 g이었다. 액상 제품의 1일 섭취량당 당함량의 범위는 N.D. ~ 10.80 g, 농축액 제품의 범위는 N.D. ~ 12.61 g, 분말 제품의 범위는 0.06 g ~ 5.64 g의 분포를 보였다. 인공감미료를 분석한 결과 3건에서 인공감미료가 검출 되었다. 인삼홍삼제품에서는 인공감미료가 검출되지 않았으며 츄어블제품 중 영양소 제품 2건과 기능성원료 제품 1건에서 검출되었다. 검출된 인공감미료는 아스파탐으로 영양소 제품에서 3.09 g/kg, 기능성원료 제품에서 1.09 g/kg 검출되었고 3건 모두 허용량 이내였다.

In this study, monitoring of food additives as an artificial sweetener on favorite foods of children,which are deal at retail store and stationery store around eliminatory school, was performed. We analyzed aspartame,potassium acesulfame, sodium saccharin, and cyclamate from candys, biscuits, chocolates and others. Total 604 items as targeted food were collected from the other country; 285 items of candys, 131 items of biscuits, 74 items of chocolates.,114 items of others. Targeted foods were classified by manufacture nation; 308 samples from domestic products,211 from China, 26 from Indonesia, and 59 items from other nations. Artificial sweeteners were detected from 75 cases of food stuff which were 38 native product, 25 China, 9 Indonesia, and 3 others. The percentage of detected artificial sweeteners was aspartame 7.8% (47 cases), potassium acesulfame 3.0% (18 cases), sodium saccharin 1.8%(11 cases), and cyclamate 2.6% (16 cases). The detected concentration were followed [average(minimum-maximum)mg/kg]; aspartame 817 (21-4,988), potassium acesulfame 192 (24-1,136), sodium saccharin 91 (5-326), and cyclamate 926 (8-4,680). Aspartame was detected mainly on Korea foods, and cyclamate and sodium saccharin were detected from Indonesia food, artificial sweeteners were detected Chinese food, broadly. As a result, 17 cases were violated against regulatory standard of cyclamate, and sodium saccharin. Considering average body weight (36.9 kg)and daily intake of biscuits (15.6 g) for elementary student, ratio of estimated daily intake and acceptable daily intake was 0.86% for aspartame, 0.54% for potassium acesulfame, 0.77% for sodium saccharin, and 3.56% for cyclamate.

This survey was conducted to monitor the total sugar, sodium, and artificial sweetener contents of light meals from the school zone in Gwangju, from November, 2008 to April, 2009. A total of 100 samples were tested. HPLC/ELSD was used for the determination of total sugar contents and AAS for sodium contents. Total sugar amounts were the sum of both mono-and disaccharide according to nutritional information standard defined by the Korea Food and Drug Administration. The results were as follows by the form of total sugar content(sodium content): 5.7 ± 1.9%(4.6 ± 1.6 mg/g) for Tteokbokki, 7.6 ± 5.1%(5.4 ± 2.7 mg/g) for Chicken(skewed), 15.4 ± 3.2%(3.0 ± 0.9 mg/g) for Bun(fish-shaped), 0.6 ± 0.3%(3.7 ± 1.0 mg/g) for Sundae, 0.9 ± 0.3%(7.4 ± 1.4 mg/g) for Oden(with broth), 20.5 ± 6.2%(2.9 ± 0.6 mg/g) for Waffle, 6.8 ± 2.2%(4.7 ± 1.0 mg/g) for Hotdog, 14.2 ± 2.8%(3.1 ± 1.6 mg/g) for Hotteok, 6.6 ± 2.1%(3.9 ± 0.6 mg/g) for Toast, 10.1 ± 3.7%(2.3 ± 0.7 mg/g) for Fry(sweet potato), 1.6 ± 0.7% (4.0 ± 0.7 mg/g) for Fry(etc), and 9.3 ± 2.4%(4.0 ± 0.6 mg/g) for Doughnut. In addition, sodium saccharin, one of the artificial sweeteners, was tested. Among 60 samples from February to April, 2009, 11 samples had sodium saccharin(6.7~101.0 mg/kg).
